The text from the TOS is as follows: "No database may be used to act as a 'hit counter,' or for logging of information distributed nightly in the raw web logs (including but not limited to browser and page referrer information)."

In their user forums they have confirmed that this includes software packages that log message views to the database, as their main concern is to prevent a large number of (relatively expensive) write operations on their shared database servers.

Having inspected your code and database structure fairly thoroughly I'm inclined to believe that the efficiencies there make up for the database writes when compared to many other forum packages, but I don't think that would work as an argument if they decided I needed to upgrade to a higher service level. I don't mind hacking the code to do this, I just hate losing the easy upgrade capabilities.
